  1. The rate of ice melting doubled between 1996 and 2005. This graphic shows seasonal melting in 1992 (left) and 2002 (right).

  2. Argentina's Upsala Glacier was once the biggest in South America, but it is now disappearing at a rate of 200 metres per year.

  3. Problem 5 Assuming the average thickness of the ice in Antarctica is 3000 meters, estimate the sea level rise if all the Antarctic ice melts.
